  • the container 2 is conveyed in this state by the intermediate wheel 4, and then handed over from the first gripper G1 to the second gripper G2 in the handover position P to the capping device 6.
  • the container 2 slants to the opposite direction in the handover position P while the first rotary member R1 and the second rotary member R2 rotate at a high rate, resulting in a sudden change in the attitude.
  • Such a sudden change in the attitude of the container 2 causes splash at the liquid surface of the content inside the container 2, and the splash of the content may contaminate the outer side of the neck portion 2b or jump out upward from the container 2.
  • the sugar may fix the cap 5 firmly onto the neck portion 2b of the container 2, leading to difficulty in opening of the cap 5.
  • deterioration of quality of the content is likely due to contact with air.
  • the cap cleaning means 13 and the neck portion cleaning means 14 are provided in the handover position P in the capping device 6, to thereby solve the aforementioned problems caused by spill of the content from the container 2.
  • the capping head 11 stands by while holding the cap 5 above the second gripper G2 of the capping device 6, the cap 5 being held at the upper position as shown in FIG. 4 .
  • the container 2 held by the second gripper G2 is moved along the second rotary member R2, and the cap 5 held by the capping head 11 is moved in synchronization with the container 2.
  • the cap cleaning means 13 is provided in a position adjacent to the downstream side of the handover position P.
  • the cap cleaning means 13 sprays the cleaning liquid from the cap cleaning nozzle 31 toward the inner side of the cap 5, enabling wetting of the inner side of the cap 5 with the cleaning liquid.
  • the partition plate 32 provided below the cap cleaning nozzle 31 prevents the cleaning liquid from pouring into the container 2.
  • the partition plate 32 Since the partition plate 32 has the mound-like cross section and the orientation of the inclined face thereof intersects with the moving trajectory of the container 2, the partition plate 32 causes the cleaning liquid fallen from the cap 5 to flow down to the inner peripheral side or the outer peripheral side of the moving trajectory of the container 2.
  • the neck portion 2b of the container 2 is cleaned by the neck portion cleaning means 14.
  • the cleaning liquid is sprayed from the plurality of neck portion cleaning nozzles 33 constituting the neck portion cleaning means 14, whereby the outer side of the neck portion 2b of the container 2 gripped by the second gripper G2 is cleaned with the cleaning liquid.
  • the neck portion cleaning nozzles 33 spray the cleaning liquid from obliquely above toward the neck portion 2b, the cleaning liquid is prevented from pouring into the container 2 as much as possible.
  • the plurality of neck portion cleaning nozzles 33 are installed at various angles, cleaning of the entire outer side of the neck portion 2b is enabled.
  • the cleaning liquid collides with, and then is scattered at, the neck portion 2b of the container 2.
  • the cleaning liquid scattered upward is blocked by the partition plate 32 and prevented from adhering to the cap positioned above.
  • the capping head 11 is positioned at the upper position as shown in FIG. 4 , whereby the cap 5 held by the capping head 11 does not interfere with the partition plate 32.
  • the elevating means 12 lowers the capping head 11 to bring the cap 5 into contact with the neck portion 2b of the container 2 in the attachment position, whereby the cap 5 is attached to the neck portion 2b.
  • the container 2 with the cap 5 attached is handed over from the capping device 6 to the ejection wheel 7, and then ejected to the subsequent process via the ejection conveyor 8.
  • a vertical slit has been formed in the threaded portion on the neck portion 2b of the container 2 for facilitating discharge of the content contaminating the threaded portion; however, a container without the vertical slit is recently employed for cost reduction and the like.
  • Elimination of the vertical slit makes it more difficult to discharge the content contaminating the threaded portion, resulting in a higher likelihood of the content remaining between the cap 5 and the neck portion 2b than in the case of the conventional container.
  • the configuration of the present embodiment enables sufficient dilution of the content remaining in the threaded portion on the outer side of the neck portion with the cleaning liquid applied to the inner side of the cap 5 by the cap cleaning means 13; and removal of the content contaminating the outer side of the neck portion 2b by the neck portion cleaning means 14.
  • the capping device 6 is provided with: the cap cleaning means 13 that sprays the cleaning liquid onto the cap 5; and the neck portion cleaning means 14 that sprays the cleaning liquid onto the neck portion 2b of the container 2, any one of the cap cleaning means 13 and the neck portion cleaning means 14 may be omitted.
  • the partition plate 32 is required only in the position where the cap cleaning nozzle 31 of the cap cleaning means 13 is provided.
  • the cap cleaning nozzle 31 and the partition plate 32 may also be provided in the handover position P, or on an upstream side of the handover position P in the rotational direction of the second rotary member.
  • the content can be removed by the neck portion cleaning means 14 and the aforementioned problems do not occur, if the neck portion cleaning zone B is on the downstream side of the handover position P, and no further spill of the content is likely due to the stable attitude of the container 2.
  • the partition plate 32 is required only in the neck portion cleaning zone B.
  • the cap cleaning means 13 and the neck portion cleaning means 14 may be provided also in conveying means that conveys a container linearly on a conveyor, if the spill of the content due to vibration and the like of the container is likely.
